Relationship map

Select a colored group arc or ribbon to inspect its flows. Tab to navigate diagram elements.

Rows are sources and columns are targets. Blank means zero. Changes are saved locally and can be undone. Scroll horizontally for more groups.

QUICK START

Relationships, made readable.

Explore how groups interact without installing software, sending files to a server, or rebuilding charts in a spreadsheet.

01

Import or enter flows

Add groups and weighted connections manually, or load a CSV matrix / edge list. Existing flows remain editable.

02

Study the picture

Each arc is a group; each ribbon is a weighted link. Choose directional flow or aggregate reciprocal relationships.

03

Share your analysis

Export crisp vector art, PNG images, editable data or an nine-file handoff ZIP for colleagues.

This is an exploratory data-visualization tool. For directed flows, the group arc includes both incoming and outgoing weight; the center total counts each directed flow once. An undirected pair aggregates reciprocal values, and self-links are supported. Filtering changes visible totals but never deletes underlying data.

Using Chord Diagram Studio

Edit weighted directed flows, tune the visible chord diagram, inspect balance and reciprocal-share summaries, and export a chart, report, or editable project.

Workflow

  1. Start with a flow matrix or enter a small set of directed source-to-target values.
  2. Choose directed or combined display and a minimum-flow filter, then inspect visible balance and reciprocal-share summaries.
  3. Review how filtering changes the visible metrics and export a chart, report, or editable project with the source flow direction preserved.

Worked example

Enter directed flows from Research to Design and from Design to Production. Switch between directed and combined display, adjust the minimum-flow filter, and compare the visible net balance before exporting a report.

Limits and data handling

Flow direction remains in the source data even when opposing ribbons are combined for display. Net is outgoing minus incoming. Reciprocal share excludes self-loops and is N/A when no visible non-self volume remains. Filters affect visible metrics, not raw project data. The workspace supports 2–24 groups and up to 576 flows; browser saving is best effort.

Frequently asked questions

Does combined display erase the original direction of a flow?

No. Combined display changes how opposing ribbons are drawn; the editable source data retains directed flows.

Do the balance figures always use every flow in the project?

No. Visible diagnostics respond to the current filter. Raw project data is separate, so review filter settings when interpreting the displayed balance.
